Stream: Willie Joe’s “Monta Ellis”

With the entirety of the rap internet recovering from Watch The Throne hangovers, it seemed prudent to offer some rap music that's just a little less epic. Something that's not indulgent and not futuristic and not served up in a weird metal box, just chilled out regular rapping over a good beat. In paying tribute to freakishly fast Golden State Warrior Monta Ellis, Vallejo, CA emcee Willie Joe offers just that. Come down gently to his good raps about hoops.
